Women in the ECOWAS region have been encouraged to take advantage of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to promote their businesses and connect for business opportunities in other countries.
The Treasurer, Federation of West African Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FEWACCI), Mr. Dele Kelvin Oye gave the charged at a two-day workshop organised by FEWACCI and the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), with support of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and the European Union.
The AfCFTA is an initiative to create a single continental market for goods and services, with free movement of business persons and investments, paving the way for accelerating the establishment of the Continental Customs Union.
